<br />Richard E. McLaugWin, P .E. <br /> <br />model study of the chute, diversion, and dam at Colorado State University's hydraulics <br />laboratory, and compiled relevant specifications and a cost estimate. Also designed a <br />modulating inlet chute and electronic control system that maximizes allowable flows through the <br />boat chute. <br /> <br />Horseshoe Bend Whitewater Course and Fish Ladders Boise- Cascade, BQi$e C~~~de <br />Corp, Horseshoe Bend, ID <br />Project Manager and Engineer: Design of a boat chute bypass, with fish ladder, to allow fish to swim <br />upstream. Detailed hydraulic analysis and final report. Results from previous hydraulic model studies <br />and computer programs were used in the design analysis. <br /> <br />Santa Fe Avenue Grade Control Structure and Boat Chute, Pueblo Conservancy District, <br />Pueblo, CO <br /> <br />Project Engineer: Design of a grade control structure to convert a dangerous river drop structure into a <br />safe white water recreational park. Computer modeling for chute design and analysis and analysis of <br />various chute configurations under many different hydraulic conditions. Conducted a $30,000 physical <br />model study of the proposed drop structure configuration and developed modifications to the model. <br />Responsible for final design drawings and specifications. <br /> <br />Boise and Payette River, Evaluation Project, Boise River 2000 Group, Boise, ID <br />Principal-in-Charge: Overall responsibility for assessment of sites that cover 8 miles of the <br />Boise and Payette Rivers. Work includes relating river characterization to man-made structures <br />and diversions. <br /> <br />Feasibility Study for Whitewater Training Site, United States Training Committee, <br />Colorado Springs, CO <br />Project Manager and Lead Design Engineer: Hydrology, hydraulics, and water quality <br />evaluation for determining the feasibility of building a whitewater training site in the region of <br />the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center. <br /> <br />Various Whitewater Park Feasibility Studies, USA <br />Principal-in-Charge, Lead Engineer: Conducted over six feasibility studies to evaluate costs <br />and potential of proposed special purpose whitewater courses and multi-purpose river <br />recreational projects. Efforts and Responsibilities included hydraulic analysis, concept-level <br />design, cost estimating, and reports. (1984 through current.) <br /> <br />Whitewater Physical Model Study, Graduate Work, Stanford University <br />As part of Master of Science Degree work, completed a physical model study and technical <br />paper on hydraulic jumps, waves and holes, for whitewater courses. The effort included <br />computer modeling and flow measurements with a Laser-Doppler Anemometer. <br /> <br />Audubon Phase III, City of Tulsa, Tulsa, OK <br />Project Manager: Evaluation of alternatives and design for a $5 million drainage improvement <br />project. The work included design of more than 3,000 linear feet of 5,000-cfs channel, 750 <br />linear feet of 5-9x9 RCBs, head walls, transitions, drop structures, storm sewers, maintenance <br />paths, landscaping and acquisition of land. Responsibilities included project management, <br /> <br />McLaughlin Rincon, Ltd. <br />
